Why?
Because he was forced into giving a pre-written teleprompter address that in typical fashion he delivered like a fourth grader delivering a book report in front of his class.
He hates being corralled into given formal addresses. If he could go completely without a teleprompter and just go stream of consciousness 100% of the time like he did during the primaries, that's what he'd want to do.
And whenever he seems forced into giving a prepared address, he likes to lash out and go wild to prove to his base that he's still his own man. As a prime example, see his press conference they day after he finally "condemned" the Charlottesville Nazis with oh so much enthusiasm.

(4,407 posts)I think he will attack Flake and McCain and that will be about the extent of things; the rest will be about how wonderful he and his supporters are.

Now that he's drained the secret service protection detail budget.
Surely, that's what he was calling the swamp.

Donald Trump will be in Arizona and we want to send a very clear message that we will not pardon white supremacy the way he has done with #Charlottesville. This week we saw how he quickly defended his partner in racism, Joe Arpaio, as Trump told Fox News he is seriously considering issuing a pardon for former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio. Arpaio was convicted last month of criminal contempt for ignoring a judges order to stop racially profiling detainees.
Bring your signs and your common sense. Remain peaceful and listen to police officers. And have fun! This is what we've been practicing for! (Please note: we are Puente's guests at this event and need to follow their lead, be respectful and let them be in charge)
Much more at link...be smart all, be safe, be peaceful.....

(7 posts)These wild-and-crazy mood swings can't go on forever. I'm hoping he goes completely off script and contradicts everything he said last night. Then he should sign up for some live interviews so there's no doubt about his insanity.
Fun times.

His speech makers have the difficult task of making it
look like he knows what he's talking about.

(18,748 posts)eclipses FRIED right into his retinas. There's maybe a giant white-black blob over everything he looks at. That the next day will be painful beyond belief. It may add some flavor to his next embarrassing demonstration, especially if he tries to read a teleprompter.
